We were so pleased with Chris' warmth and professional
approach to his job. It was wonderful to have him come
to our home. He explained everything in a very natural
manner, not using the "fake solemnity" I so dislike in
funeral homes.

I would like to thank Chris Benesch for going above and beyond to ensure all matters were clearly explained and taken care of. We have dealt with Chris in the past and he always ensures the family is looked after. There is never any pressure to purchase or commit to anything. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Earth's Option took care of a dear friend of mine a few years back when she passed, which is why when my dad recently passed away I had no hesitation as to who I wanted to take care of his final arrangements. Meeting Chris for the first time was as if we had already known him. He made the experience comfortable and professional for the family. We knew my dad was in the best hands. Chris, thank you for your kindness, support and understanding during our time of grief.

We hired Earth's Option because of a friend's recommendation and we were amazed at the service . Susan explained everything clearly and helped our family through a difficult time . There was no sales pitch and she showed patience and respect throughout the time we spent with her . Dad was transported from the care home by two young , caring people ... a indication of the class of this company . I strongly recommend Earth's Option dealing with any funeral needs . Our family thanks you very much .

Susan, Chris and Colin,You've been great. Obviously you know and believe that it does help to have kind, courteous, and practical help in such a difficult time of life - and without harming the earth or putting ordinary folks into unnecessary debt. Laura really noticed and appreciated these qualities in your work.

Earth's Option goes above and beyond with service and their compassion. Before my mom passed we sat down with Chris to arrange her cremation and funeral services. Chris was so professional and their was no pressure to spend more money than what was needed. When my mother passed away I phoned Earth's Option and Susan arranged to meet me at my home. Susan was amazing- so compassionate, helpful, and supported me in through it all. Even after the service, if I had any questions of what to do next Susan was there for me. Thank you Chris and Susan.

I was in shock and had no idea where to turn when my husband of almost 30 years recently passed. When I contacted Earth's Options - I was visited at home by Susan - good thing as I had no idea what I was doing or to do...I found Susan so helpful/compassionate and a very nice person to talk to...She made it so much easier for my peace of mind. Bottom Lne - I could not have gotten through it without Susan and her empathy and her services...

I had very limited time to find a funeral home for my uncle...........From the first phone call they were friendly and accommodating. They were willing to meet me at a place that was convenient for me and were I would feel comfortable. Susan was kind, matched me mood for mood, never making me feel rushed, bad about how I was dealing with pain and did everything she could to help me give my uncle the funeral he deserved.
I love the time Susan spent with me, walking me through the steps and supporting me at every turn. I was left alone to plan this entirely so she was a great comfort helping me feel as though I was with family.
I understand this is more rambabling but I just can't say enough good things about this company, the people I did deal with, no matter the time I had to call.

Earths Option was fantastic to deal with. They got ahold of me soon after I left a message. They were so helpful with my fathers cremation. I had never been to Vancouver Island before. They came to me,which was great because I didn't know my way around. Susan helped me with all the plans, and even gave me some advice on where to go, and what websites to use to sell some if my Dads stuff. They also went way above and beyond, to get my Dads personal items to me on Good Friday so I could get back to my family for Easter. I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing, but I can't imagine anyone else being as helpful and going so far above and beyond expectations as Chris and Susan did. I only wish they were in my home province. Thanks so much for all you've done.

The service given to me both for my brother and more recently my husband was excellent. Chris was quick to respond to my call and did everything to make my husband's death so much easier for me and my family, Earth Options is the best organization I know of when dealing with funeral or cremation arrangements!!

When my dear Mum moved into a care home it was necessary to choose a funeral home. Susan met with us, in our home. We knew we wanted something simple and, unlike some others, she respected this and did not give us the "hard sell". When my Mum passed away several months later, Susan came once again and had most of the details from our previous meeting in place. She was professional, human and caring. Thank you.

Chris was wonderful. He made a very hard situation more bearable. He went over things I never would have known to ask and made sure my husband was laid to rest the way he wanted. I will definitely recommend him to everyone.
